Lu Zheng passed by the front yard, told Aunt Liu that there was no need to prepare lunch for him, and then walked out of his house.
Upon entering, the streets of an ancient city with a rich flavor of life appeared in front of Lu Zheng, although they were different from old to new.
The house Lu Zheng bought is located in Tongyi Lane in the northeast of Tonglin County. The house is relatively large and the street is relatively wide. Lu Zheng’s house is not far from the street entrance, so he can see it as soon as he goes out. There are people selling breakfast on street corners carrying poles or pushing carts.
The regulations of Da Jing Dynasty are not rigid. There is no curfew and no regulations on the scope of commercial areas, so there are mobile vendors everywhere, except for a few main streets and a specially designated area in the south of the county. Apart from Anfang, there are also scattered business shops on other streets.
“Master Lu!”
“Good morning, Mr. Lu!”
Because Lu Zheng bought a house, he got up early and went out these days. When I was shopping, I was curious and bought several kinds of breakfast before, so the people who often set up stalls selling breakfast nearby got to know him.
Lu Zheng nodded and bought a wild vegetable bun from Aunt Li who was pushing a wheelbarrow.
A steamed bun costs two cents. The wild vegetables were picked by Aunt Li outside the city yesterday. With some vegetable oil, they tasted fragrant and slightly sweet.
Nibbling on the buns along the way, Lu Zheng soon arrived at his destination.
Chiang Shing House.
The largest teahouse in Tonglin County sells morning tea and lunch. Lu Zheng’s biggest purpose in coming here is that in addition to telling stories, the storytellers in the teahouse often talk about nonsense from all over the world. Although the anecdotes from other places cannot be fully believed, they are also an important channel for Lu Zheng to understand the Jing Dynasty.
Lu Zheng has been here for five consecutive days, learning about all aspects of the world from the fresh stories told by the storyteller.
……
After spending the morning and rewarding his husband with fifteen copper coins, Lu Zheng had lunch in the teahouse, and then wandered to his hotel. Next destination.
Wenshizhai.
As the name suggests, this shop sells various stone utensils, including inkstones, paperweights, seal stones, and various rough stones, which can be customized according to customer requirements.
Lu Zheng has been transfusing blood to Da Jingchao these days. After thinking about it for a long time, he never thought that he could bring anything valuable back from Da Jingchao.
Books, calligraphy and painting? Not to mention that they are all new products, celebrities in this world were not famous in their own time.
Gold and silverware? It is worth a lot of money in this world, and if Lu Zheng is bigAcquisitions in large quantities can easily attract the attention of interested people.
As for the various other handicrafts, I won’t talk about them. You can’t sell them even if you take them back.
In the end, what inspired Lu Zheng was the jade seal in his mind. Maybe there were some stones that were not valuable in the Jing Dynasty, but are very valuable in modern times?
For example, the recent rise of Warring States red, such as Tianhuang stone, known as the King of Shoushan Stones.
During these days, Lu Zheng returned to modern times and refreshed himself on various jade knowledge. After making full preparations, he went to Wenshizhai to see if he could find something missing.
"Young master, do you need an ink stone? The shop sells all kinds of stone tools, including green mountain stone, black star stone and ruby stone."
Tonglin County is just a county after all. , Stoneware is not a daily business, so few people come to the door. Finally, customers came, and the boss was very enthusiastic.
“I’ll just take a look.”
Lu Zheng said politely, and then took a look at the various stone tools in the shop.
Immediately afterwards, from a perspective that the boss could not see, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As expected, there are indeed good stones!
Although looking at the placement of the stones, one can guess that these stones cost a lot of money, but is the money of the Da Jing Dynasty money?
"This seal..."
Lu Zheng was not polite and pointed at a fist-sized red seal stone on the shelf.
It is as red as blood, covering from top to bottom, gorgeous but not demonic, like flowing clouds and bright clouds, with golden yellow underneath, strands and strands, moist like the sun.
"Young master has good eyesight. This is the phoenix blood stone produced in Fenghuang Mountain in Yaozhou. It is more colorful than cinnabar, red like blood wings, and golden like the autumn leaves of the phoenix tree, which indicates that the phoenix is resting..."
Lu Zheng just listened to the nonsense and could not show too much wealth.
However, seeing that Lu Zheng had no expression, the shopkeeper of Wenshizhai could not continue talking, and finally concluded and quoted the price.
“Thirty guan!”
“It’s expensive, twenty guan.”
“Oh, my lord, this is the most expensive one. Top-quality phoenix blood stone, with a golden background, a good thing that is only one in a thousand..."
"Twenty-five pieces, otherwise forget it."
"I'll give it to you. Wrap it up!”
According to the purchasing power of the Da Jing Dynasty, one guan can buy two hundred kilograms of polished rice. Calculated at five yuan per kilogram of polished rice, twenty-five guan is equivalent to 25,000 yuan in modern times. Yuan, it can be regarded as a top luxury product.
YesIs this expensive for Lu Zheng?
A pair of fully transparent glass lion ornaments costing 300 yuan. They are as transparent as water and as smooth as mirrors, pretending to be natural materials. Baiguan!
You know, Lu Zheng's three entrances to the house only cost him three hundred guan.
Although Lu Zheng does not dare to use this kind of killer weapon here in the short term, Lu Zheng still needs to replenish blood for the modern era, because he is about to run out of food in the modern era.
It was a fine sandalwood box, and the shopkeeper also gave Lu Zheng a box of ink pads. Lu Zheng paid the bill with his treasure money and went out satisfied.
…
One afternoon, Lu Zheng wandered harmlessly from the east to the west of the city, and bought some odds and ends for his home, but he didn’t take them with him. Instead, he paid the bill and asked the store to deliver them to his house in Tongyi Lane.
Lu Zheng felt that Da Jing Chao’s service was better than that of Hyundai, and everything was delivered to his door.
…
When he returned home in the evening, he saw a dirty old beggar sitting under the eaves of his house to rest.
The old beggar had gray hair and was wearing tattered linen clothes full of holes. His face was covered with dirt, but he looked leisurely and contented. He was rubbing mud balls and sniffing. Apparently, he smelled the fragrance coming from Lu Zheng's house.
This is a meal made by Aunt Liu using the seasonings Lu Zheng brought from modern times.
Lu Zheng smelled it and it seemed that Aunt Liu had steamed a chicken today.
"Little sir, are you the owner of this house?" The old beggar showed his yellow teeth, "Can you give the old beggar a chicken drumstick?"
Lu Zheng Instinctively frowning, as a Hou Lang who has almost gone back to back with Zero Zero, and has lived in a modern socialist city all year round, where have I seen such a dirty beggar?
However, Lu Zheng regained his composure in an instant and did not show any disgust.
Everyone is equal, empathizes with others, respects others, and retains self-esteem. This is the most basic quality for young people in the new era.
“Okay!” Lu Zheng agreed decisively.
"Huh?" This time it was the old beggar's turn to be confused. He looked at Lu Zheng carefully and couldn't help but ask, "Really?"
"It's just a chicken drumstick, just wait." Lu Zheng smiled, walked past the old beggar, and knocked on the door.
"Uncle Li, open the door!"
"The young master is back!"
A series of footsteps came, and Uncle Li opened the courtyard door. Stand aside and waitLu Zheng walked in.
"Tear a chicken leg, fill it with a bowl of vegetables, take two steamed buns and give them to this person."
Seeing Lu Zheng purse his lips, Uncle Li said Only then did he see the old beggar sitting under the eaves of his house.
"Old beggar, you are blessed. These are the spices my young master has collected, and you have never tasted them in your life!"
They are all poor people, Li Bo didn't dislike the old beggar, but Lu Zheng's kindness made him feel more secure.
"Little sir, can you give the old beggar another glass of wine?" The old beggar continued to lick his face and beg for wine.
"Okay." Lu Zheng nodded.
I already had a meal and didn’t care about another glass of wine.
The old beggar was smiling happily and sitting under the eaves, waiting for food. When Lu Zheng walked in, he saw Aunt Liu setting the table in the main hall.
"Sir, the meal is ready!"
"Yes."
Lu Zheng ate in the main hall, while Aunt Liu and Uncle Li stayed I made my own food and ate it in the kitchen.
Then, just when Lu Zheng was about to use his chopsticks, the jade seal in his mind suddenly appeared with five rays of white light!
The moment the white light appeared, Lu Zheng immediately knew the name of the white light.
The light of luck!
